The hlp file name extension under Windows makes unnecessarily "complicated" to read or edit the content of those files. Thus the change to txt.
Those two files are not pure text files. There are two control characters inside when decoded in ASCII. FF (0x0c) and SI (0x0f)
Are you sure there will be no problem editing them in Windows' Notepad?
Yes, I am sure they can be edited with any text editor. In fact, they can be edited almost exclusively by text editors. You can also generate a new simple text file and display it with F1-F12 (and there are other alternatives too) from the Syslinux boot menu.
I wouldn't get here into the details of (so-called in Syslinux) DISPLAY files format, so to maintain the discussion on-topic. If there is interest in adding help files (F1 - F12 and other methods) to UBCD boot menu, or to discuss this specific suggested change, lets open a new topic just for it. Just let me know, or start it and I'll gladly reply
